[Remote] AI Agent Architect, Customer Experience

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Airtable is a no-code app platform that empowers organizations to accelerate their business processes. In this role, you will own the technical foundation for AI-native customer support experiences, focusing on architecting knowledge systems and decision logic for AI agents.

Responsibilities
• Own Agent retrieval accuracy and relevance. Architect the knowledge systems that enable AI agents to surface the right answer on the first try. Measure and improve retrieval precision, contextual relevance, and hallucination rates
• Drive automated resolution rates. Build the decision frameworks that allow agents to take confident actions. What APIs do agents need to access? When can they make account modifications? You're accountable for encoding business logic into auditable, predictable systems that resolve issues without human intervention
• Manage AI safety and trust. Establish the guardrails that keep resolution rates high while failure rates stay low. You're responsible for what the agent doesn't do wrong: edge cases caught, prompt injection blocked, unintended behaviors prevented
• Own the feedback loop. Monitor the observability layer that turns agent behavior into actionable insights. Instrument retrieval accuracy, action success rates, and failure patterns. Use this data to drive measurable week-over-week improvements in agent performance
• Continuously improve agent quality. Develop and maintain the prompt architecture that governs how agents reason and respond. Build systematic approaches to versioning, A/B testing, and performance evaluation, measuring consistency, accuracy, and adaptability across scenarios
• Drive integration strategy. Architect how agents connect to external systems—billing platforms, CRMs, internal tools, Airtable APIs. Define authentication patterns, error handling, and data transformation. Uptime, error rates, and data accuracy are your metrics
